Does this happen to you? You cannot flow your idea into writing. What helps you collect your idea and put it into your interesting post? What I find easy to write is what I know well. What about you, is it easy for you to write and get the message across?

There are times I just go into other people's posts when I cannot figure out what to post myself.

It sometimes takes time until we are sure what to post.

There are times, when I have nothing to write about. Sometimes, my mind does go blank.

It happens to everyone, I guess. Maybe we need to relax a bit.

I suggest you better think about it during daytime: when you go to the work, when you do stuff outside, look for something to write about: I have been at the garage today and I thought what to write about - The car problem. I was at work today too, I can remember things that happened today, to write about.

I have too much to write about and no time. That's my problem. Looking at photos gives me ideas.

I see. My problem is also selecting words to use for certain situations.

It happens to me sometimes. I usually just look at the news for an idea to write about.

When you are going for an interview, do you prepare what to talk or speak about? If you are asked to write something, will you able to do it easily?

It's hard actually. I don't push myself if nothing crosses my mind.

It happens to have nothing to say. The best is to wait until the ideas come back. The best is to write about something that happens during the day, a surprise, the food, the weather... no matter what.

I just write what's on my mind, about what I did, or what happened to me. Some people may do research first on a topic and then write about it. I don't do that here as this is not an article writing site. By the way, your picture in this discussion made me crave for a cappuccino.

@yanzalong At one time I could come up with topics to write but nowadays I cannot always think of something. So, I go into other discussions and may find something then.

Here is a good place to practise how we can flow ideas without having to worry about structural rules.

Sometimes just writing down keywords that come to mind, or creating a thought web. I will just bullet point several thoughts even one's I think are no good, then walk away make a cup of tea. And come back and work on ideas some more. Typically it helps when you have a theme. Then you can things associated with that theme and come up with writing points from there. Trail and error. Not everything you will write will be gold, but some of it will be.

It is easy for me to get ideas and write them.

If I get stuck for a topic I mostly go through my photos and invariably I find something that I think will interest people. Other times I read the news as there is sometimes something of human interest on there that I think readers will enjoy.

I guess this wouldnt be a problem to those people who took interest in writing. One needs to have the enthusiasm and the eagerness to write in order to create a discussion but most importantly, it is the time that we need the most.
